i was wondering if there is any best practice in eclipse about how to keep
track of a RCP features/plugins versions. i would like to find a way to
avoid the situation that a bug fix is implemented in one specific plugin,
but the developer forget to update the version and, since that, the plugin
is never downloaded via update manager (this is probably a common issue
with eclipse-based development). the only approach that i found was to use
the qualifier with the build data, but with that all plugins will be
dowloaded (not only the ones that changed)
The product that we develop has more than 60 plugins and there are +- 20
developers. most of the developers only test in the RCP directly and don't
use the update manager to validate their fixes.
i will really like to hear if anyone has any suggestion or comment on how
to proceed with that
